Happy Women in Horror Month! Celebrate the women who capture gloom, terror, and dread in their work & continue to motivate, uplift & bring diversity to this genre. What do you have on your TBRs for WiHM? I'm currently reading both Her Wicked Roots by Tanya Pell and The Reformatory by Tananarive Due.
It’s a beautiful day for Paracon at the Zlock performing arts center!

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut
I don’t know why this is hitting me hard. Loved Eric in Greys but fuck, it’s been one a day for the last week and too many too young. Take care of yourself my people.

One of the best gifts I’ve given myself is to stop arguing with people who are too ignorant to know their arguments is trash or that they are.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
We asked the kids to try watching Midnight Mass with us once a week and they reluctantly agreed and now 3 weeks in they’re begging to watch more than once a week. ❤️
"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Watching hereditary for the 3rd time (first time with my big kid) and I realize this movie is meant to be watched over and over. Brilliant.
That’s awesome!
i get a few of these every week right now. Sometimes they still make my pauce because they can get such specific details and it's not always a book club, but anyway, if you didn't know before, now you know.

My son was hanging out in the same room where I was editing and it made me realize that I whisper words I get stuck on when I'm writing so I'm everything will be silent and then I'll whisper "Spiritualist"
"Ham-hock"
"Mr. Delancy"
I’m gonna talk about my cats instead of the horrors for a minute. They’re both the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet but they both need to very carefully hurt me. Luna will gently, lovingly bite me while I snuggle her and Kitty will stretch out on my lap and slowly sink his claws into my legs. wtf?
This is really cool! My short story, “No one Would Even Care” about a neglected girl who moves into a haunted house across the street from her bully is in the MORE MONSTERS NEXT DOOR anthology and I just got my contributors copy. Look at that awesome illustration!
Wow! High praise indeed!
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
